CAPO UP 2nd Fret
When you see G/F means to "walk down"
From G to Em using only the Low E string
for a Bass Run like G->F->E
Since I use the app on a phone,
I've tried to make the size
of the lines "Mobile Friendly"
so you can use a reasonable sized font
Technically it's in the key of A,
But since it's capo'd I'm writing it
by chord shape as though the key were G.
This allows for all easy open chord shapes.

If you came to my door

And you asked me for more
